I have been able to buy blackberries at a very good price for the past 3 weeks. My favorite way to eat these is just pop them into my mouth and savor the juice! But mixing them with other fruits is fun to do as well. This might be a way to introduce different fruits to the kids. Or you can make a nice fruit salad for breakfast or even dessert by mixing your fruits together. Whatever you choose, it is getting your colors in a fun, nutritional way. With the blackberries, I tossed them with one cantaloupe that I cut into chunks and 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced. I whisked together 3 Tbsp of fresh lime juice and 3 Tbsp of honey. I tossed the fruits lightly together with the sweet sauce and put it into dessert bowls with a sprig of mint. It's quick and easy and very delicious. For a crunchy alternative at breakfast, sprinkle some granola on top!

Berries are my favorite kind of fruit. Where I live, blackberries are VERY dear; almost in the category of 'special' occasion foods. Considering the price here, eating blackberries fresh IS the way to go. I wouldn't want to miss one squirt of wonderful juice! I bet the berries look beautiful with the other fresh fruit.
ReplyDeleteI see a tiny package of blackberries today for $2. Thought that was a good price, but I am BAD. I have a hard time buying what I know sometime in the later summer I can pick for so much less $$. Now you know why Grumpy calls me cheap. lol.
